Recently I spoke to a friend of mine who is a female gamer, She was saying how "girl" games are very stereotypical of women, "girl" games mainly consist of cooking, household chores, looking after animals or really cute games;Why female gamers can't be allowed to enjoy games such as Left for Dead, Halo and Dead Rising etc, She also finds it annoying that guys are apparently the only people who are allowed to enjoy those games as that's who it is marketed to, and that if a guy went to buy a "girl" game he would get alot of stick for it and be labeled as "gay".
They also find how women are portrayed in games is kinda wrong aswell, They are set to be really hard ass women, but they wear skimpy clothes and have tiny waists with big boobs, which again is aimed more for the male gamer than the female, and that there isn't any "normal" looking women like bigger sized women only super model types, but when there is a larger women in a game they are usually the villian or there for comedy reasons.
